Artsakh has been under siege for 259 days.

“It is necessary to take responsibility and take steps, this struggle in uncertainty and darkness will exhaust the people of Artsakh with its negative consequences. It is necessary to conduct an open dialogue with the people, to show initiative, not to overestimate the efforts of intermediary countries and, to use them correctly, without underestimating them. One should not be afraid of difficulties and remain steadfast. The responsibility to decide the ways out of this situation is everyone’s, we should act not with fear, but with courage,” Artsakh State Minister Gurgen Nersisyan said.

Azerbaijan has blocked all kinds of cargo and humanitarian transportation to Artsakh for about three months.

The 360 ​​tons of humanitarian aid which Armenia sent on 26 July is still in Kornidzor.

On 22 February, the International Court published the decision regarding the request submitted by Armenia and stated: “Since 12 December, the connection through the Lachin Corridor has been disrupted; the supply of food, medicine and other necessary goods to Nagorno Karabakh has been hindered, which can cause irreparable damage.

“The Court considers that it is necessary to apply a temporary measure and court records that Azerbaijan is obliged to take the measures that depend on it to ensure the uninterrupted movement of people and goods in both directions through the Lachin Corridor.”

It was noted that the court’s decision came into force from the moment of its publication.

However, the fact is that the road is still closed.

Due to the lack of international pressure on Azerbaijan, the Armenians of Artsakh are facing a humanitarian disaster. The appeals of the international community have been ignored by the leadership of Azerbaijan until now.

Fundamental human rights have been violated for 259 days, and international organizations and states are silent.

Due to the terrorist behavior of the Azerbaijani side, the villages of Shushi region are completely cut off from the capital of Artsakh and other settlements.

It should be noted that the Governing Board of the CSO Anti-Corruption Coalition of Armeniaalso made a statement. “This blockade, under the guise of environmentalism, pursues   the realization of the corrupt ambitions of the despotic leadership of Azerbaijan to seize the most important assets of Artsakh’s economy.”
